What? Run a Relay Race?

Ragnar Relay SoCal 2013-My Third Leg Is Harder Than Yours

Last year, I went along with Team Sparkle in their van during the Ragnar Relay SoCal as their race photographer.  Of course, they are super fast and super awesome, so I was able to stay semi-awake the entire time…all 36 legs of running. Because I had so much fun, I had no problem going along [...]

Eeek, I Ran Another Half Marathon

Getting ready to run the OC Marathon Half

First weekend in May. My 5th Half Marathon. Less Training, less time to run. Arrived at the race solo. Went to the bathroom, just before the start. Ran up to the corral and barely got time to take this picture. 8 minute PR (personal record) from my last half marathon. OC Marathon Half was a [...]

Wordless Wednesday: What I Wore (Random Running-Related Stuff)

Arm Party

I wear some pretty random clothes…especially to run in. But for some reason it works for me. Here are just some pictures that I took recently.  Race Support and Alternate for Baker to Vegas Relay Race. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot tee from Threadless Tees. Blue Team Sparkle/Sparkle Athletic skirt.  Black Lululemon shorts underneath.  Arm Party. From [...]

Run for Boston

Run For Boston

As a runner and member of the online running community, you can only imagine how I feel about what happened in Boston a week ago. I’m shaken and traumatized. I’ve ran many races, and I knew tons of people that were in Boston last week. Whether they were running the race, or there with their [...]

Re-Entry is Difficult

Palm Springs, CA

Last week I headed out to the desert for a work conference. I stayed at my parent’s vacation house in Palm Springs. This was my home for five days. I had three bedrooms, a swimming pool, and the rest of the house all to myself. You would have thought that I would have returned home [...]

Run All The Races

Run All The Races 2013

I figure that if I want to keep up with this running thing, I should sign-up for more races, right? I mean really, it totally makes sense? I swear that I’m going to be following some kind of training plan that is affixed to my refrigerator for the rest of my days. So if you [...]

A Year of Running

Green Team Sparkle Skirt for a St. Patrick's Day Run

Several of my friends did races {running} this weekend. I hadn’t signed up for any special St. Patrick’s Day themed races because I couldn’t find any that sounded really awesome. I could have run a St. Patrick’s Day half marathon if I live in another state, because there were several occurring yesterday. But just because [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Just Jump

Tinker Bell Half Marathon 2013

I bit the bullet last week and purchased some of my race photographs. I loved this one taken at the end of the Tinker Bell Half Marathon in January. Even though the race pretty much sucked for me, I got a great photograph out of it!   Welcome to “Angry Julie Monday’s Wordless Wednesday Linky”! If [...]
